Special Needs Planning in IL

There are ever-increasing numbers of children and adults with special needs. Statistics vary about the number of special needs children in the U.S., but by some estimates there are approximately 21 million families in the United States who are caring for a special needs individual. Of those, about 2.8 million are children. As medical care gets more expensive over time, and individuals with disabilities live longer, it’s important to be aware of not only the medical aspects of dealing with a special needs individual, but also the legal and financial planning that should be in place for their care and benefit.
